If you are a state agency employee, legislative staffer or interested citizen who wants to better understand climate change, then аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÄÚÄ»ÐÅÏ¢ Davis has a lunch invitation for you.
Beginning Thursday, Jan. 17, 2008, university experts will come to downtown Sacramento to teach you what they teach their students on campus about the science, technology and policy aspects of climate change, and its impacts on California.
The seminars are free. Lunch will be provided at a low cost. Discussions will follow each talk. Perhaps best of all: No quizzes!
аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÄÚÄ»ÐÅÏ¢ Davis will present the 12 talks every other Thursday through June 19 at noon in the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal EPA) building, 1001 I St., Sacramento. Although the topics will be presented in a logical sequence, each talk is intended to stand on its own, and missing one or more will not detract from understanding the others.
A detailed schedule of speakers and topics is online at: .
